no clip animals mod possible?

[♔ןoן♔ sardukar]

Okay im new to Ark.

Stopped playing because i kept losing animals.

Using mod "Creature Finder Deluxe" awesome mod............kept finding lost animals mostly sarcos etc stuck in trees.

I like Ark but hate having to back track to get animals.......is there a way to mod particular animals to clip through trees?

Sarcos dont harvest trees so make trees clippable if thats the right word as in they can walk through them.

looking if theres a way to do this.

Some dinos can harvest bushes and some dinos dont harvest bushes, i know its not the same but there must be an underlaying mechanic for dinos to recognise "i can eat that bush and get stuff out of it as opposed to a dino that "can see" a bush in the game world, chomp on it and get nothing and the bush is still "in the world"

Dino "can see" a tree in the game world and the tree is clippy able to that dino.

I suggest the dino storage mod. Just ball up dinos for easy transport instead of trying to get them to follow you.

Mate, i believe cryopods do the same thing. (havn't tried them)

I suggest, please read what i posted and reply accordingly.

I don't think so.

Cryopods are basically pokeballs. Only bad thing about them is you can't take more than 1 dino every few mins out (they get cryo sickness, which is full torpor). Works great for storage though. And changes the cave run meta. You can get anything into any cave now.

Maybe i want to roam the island with a pack of dinos. Having them get stuck on trees is a real pain and as stated back tracking to free them is again a real pain. Which is the reason im asking about a work around. i dont want to have to magically appear a pack of sarcos by using a storage mod etc.

I don't think selectively ghosted dinos is possible.

The mod you are asking for isn't really possible, because it is the "hit boxes" that are colliding.

For those that don't know the term:
A hitbox is an invisible shape commonly used in video games for real-time collision detection.
This includes for harvesting, etc. TO make something "No Clip" would mean that you would not be able to interact with it...like would never be able to harvest trees, etc.

With they could do something with the AI to get the dinos to auto find a way around those trees... Heck I wish they would do something about the environment issue, hell... Minecraft will recognize when something is over your head and block the rain. You can't tell me that JAVA is better than this... But that is my rant.

Oh so hitbox collison is a problem. So a workaround would be the wooly rino it can knock trees down at speed so if certain creatures had the knockdown tree ability at walking pace should fix tree stuck problem?

That sounds like it could work...........

Like the Spino and Rex have, that would be useful, but I've never dung into that function for creatures.

I use dino helper mod and it makes certain creatures do things auto like collecting, it makes the carbonara turtle thingy into a fridge so there must be some sort of attribute table to assign things to dinos............maybe i should ask the modder. I cannot be the only one that gets annoyed by trees
